The Zombies formed in 1961 and soon after became one of the biggest bands of the British Rock Invasion that hit the States in the 60s. The band’s first big hit, “She’s Not There” was released it in 1964, and was followed by other smashes like “Tell Her No,” “I Love You,” and their biggest hit, “Time of The Season”.

More than 50 years later, the band is back with original lead vocalist and songwriter Colin Bluntstone and original keyboardist, vocalist, and main songwriter Rod Argent heading up the tour.

Fans of garage rock and rock n’ roll in general are in for a treat!. Tickets can be purchased at the Orange Peel’s website: www.theorangepeel.net

Where Do Zombies Come From? There is a great deal of confusion about how one becomes a zombie. The only way to become a zombie is by being bitten by a zombie. Every year, however, thousands of Americans are misdiagnosed as zombies. The Center for Disease Control attributes the majority of these cases to overexposure to infomercials. The Center also states that false-positive zombie reports tend to increase every four years in conjunction with presidential debates.
